Step-by-step guide

When working in InfoWater Pro UDF, a simulation can be run for a group of continuous sequences in the currently active flush zone. Once hydrant and valve layers are set and a zone selected, a batch run can be performed from the Flush Sequence Manager.

  1. With InfoWater Pro initialized, open a UDF model with a flush zone and at least one flush sequence already created within that zone.
  2. From the Model Explorer, click Run to open the Run Manager.
  3. Click Run to run a simulation and create output results for a base scenario.

In the Model Explorer toolbar, Run highlighted in red, and in the Run Manager, the Run button highlighted in red.

  1. When the simulation is complete, click OK to exit the Run Manager.

Check to make sure UDF layers are set:

  1. From the InfoWater Pro ribbon, UDF panel, click Set UDF Layer.

In a zoomed-in view of the InfoWater Pro ribbon, UDF panel, Set UDF Layer called out with a red arrow.

  1. In the Set UDF Layer dialog box, enable Use External Layer for both the Set Hydrant Layer and Set Valve Layer group boxes.
  2. Select both a hydrant layer and a valve layer using the respective drop-downs.
  3. Click OK.

In the Set UDF Layer dialog box, Use External Layer enabled and a layer selected for both Set Hydrant Layer and Set Valve Layer, with OK selected.

  1. From the InfoWater Pro ribbon, UDF panel, expand the More drop-down and select Set Hydrant/Valve Symbols.

The map updates with hydrant and valve symbols.

Now, set up the batch run:

  1. From the Model Explorer, switch to the UDF tab.
  2. Expand the drop-down, and select a zone. In this example, ZONE1 is selected.
  3. Click Sequence Manager.

The Model Explorer, UDF tab, with ZONE1 selected in the drop-down, and Sequence Manager highlighted in red.

  1. In the Flush Sequence Manager toolbar, click Batch Run.
  2. In the Batch Run popup, enter the starting and ending sequence numbers for the batch run. In this example, sequences 1 to 22 are entered.

In the Flush Sequence Manager, the Batch Run button highlighted in red, and in the Batch Run popup, starting and ending sequence numbers entered for this example.

  1. Click OK.

In the Message Board, status updates indicate which UDF sequence is being run.

  1. When the batch run is complete, click OK to close the dialog box.
